TF:Prime Ultra Magnus + Simple paint apps = Much better.

Got TF:Prime Voyager Ultra Magnus. Love the robot mold, great design on the alt mode, but lacking in paint apps. Problem: Solved.

Took just a little bit of time to add in some much-needed paint to certain areas. Did the mirrors, wheel rims, exhaust stacks, rear panel stripe above wheels, taillights, trim around the taillights, and a little dot of red on the front grill badge. Not a majorly drastic change, but enough to make him much less 'plain' from all sides.

I'm pretty happy with the results, so I thought I'd share.

Good job! A little paint goes a long way in improving a TF.

Sometimes I wonder if the reason Hasbro doesn't bother with the paint apps is because they know we'll paint them up ourselves anyway, and the kids just don't care. :-?
